Helikon-Tex Wolfhound Hoodie Jacket

The Helikon-Tex Wolfhound Hoodie Jacket is a lightweight insulated layer that prioritizes packability and warmth-to-weight ratio for cold weather operations. The WindPack nylon shell houses Climashield Apex insulation (67 g/m²), which provides reliable synthetic warmth even when wet, a critical advantage over down insulation in field environments.

VersaStretch panels at the armpits and cuffs ensure full range of motion during weapon manipulation or active movement. At roughly 450 g / 15.9 oz, the Wolfhound packs down into the included compression bag, making it ideal for minimalist loadouts or as an emergency layer in a patrol pack. The fast-drying properties allow rapid recovery after exposure to rain or perspiration.

The YKK front zipper includes a wind flap to prevent heat loss, while the Velcro ID panel on the arm allows unit identification or morale patches. Available in black, coyote, and olive drab colorways. User feedback consistently notes the exceptional warmth for the weight, though the sizing runs large—order down one size from normal jacket sizing. The outer fabric can snag on branches in dense vegetation, so pair with a hardshell for brush operations.
